Folks,

I'm an ancient old printer and in printing, in the bad old days when we
had to do it all by hand, we *underlined* pagination (numbering of pages).

Why? An upside down 6 reads as a 9, 18 can read as 81 and so forth. In
addition we universally used the European type 7, the one with a slash
through the downstroke to ensure that it looked very different to a 1.

If you underline the numbers you always know which way is up.

So, WKPP etc, why not do the same? Makes sense to me.

Sorry if this has been put before.

Cheers,

Christian

PS I was quite inexcusably stupid when I received the verification
command. If you get this post more than once (theoretically, you
shouldn't) I apologise.
